HDLG, his ability to destroy a modest CH field is still there. As stated before, if this year’s Champion Hurdle would be a 2 mile Bumper he would be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/5 after his Southwell romp. I made it a theoretical 4/6 chance before his AW outing, but now I’m fully convinced that his Flat ability is there.
Buckley and Hendo ignore his jumping frailties and the worst part of the interview was the onwer admitting that he was sent to Punchestown in terrible shape. That was the icing on the cake, surel in a negative way.
